wheat lifting
Fatehgarh Sahib, April 25
The officials do not bother and heed to the request of commission agents to clear their bills in spite of the fact that the top officials of Govt of India and State Govt have toured all the grain markets of the district and expressed concern over non-payment to farmers and slow pace of lifting of procured wheat, alleged Rajesh, state press secy, Arhtiya Association. He said PK Jha, Union additional secy and AS Pannu Divisonal Commissioner, Patiala, had visited various grain markets and directed the officials to speed up lifting process and to immediately make payment to farmers. He said lifting of procured wheat has not yet started properly resulting in heaps of procured wheat bags in the grain markets causing great inconvenience to farmers and commission agents. The Swipe Card Scheme launched by State Government's procurement Agency PUNGRAIN to make online payment to the commission agents and farmers has failed miserably as cards allotted to commission agents are not being assessed by the machines moreover, the staff is not properly trained to handle these machines. He said Adesh Partap Kairon, Food & Civil Supply Minister, had promised to clear the bills of the Commission and labour charges along with the bills of procured wheat. But unfortunately, none of the govt procurement agencies is clearing their procurement bills what to talk about these bills.
